Wat zou je doen (met Marco Borsato)

What would you do

If there was never a tomorrow,
and the sun fell asleep with the moon.
Do you have any idea what it would do to you,
if you only had one more day.

For some children there will never be a tomorrow,
how would you feel if your days are full of worries.
You are so young and small, it hurts immensely,
the heart of a child is as fragile as porcelain.
So take the time to listen to this,
if we do nothing, their lives are lost.
Everyone has the right to a fair life,
And they can experience so much in this world.
Let's give them a chance and offer them help,
Keep your head up and don't retreat into your shell.
Join hands, because together we are strong,
No, we don't just watch, we get to work.

What would you do
What would I do if I lived in Baghdad?
Would I beg the one in power?
Hey, how bad would it be in the Balkans?
Most people don't understand a thing.
Congo, Kosovo, and Pakistan,
Sierra Leone, Sudan, and Afghanistan.
Eritrea and of course Georgia,
It's war from here to Bosnia.

Would your heart fill with fire,
freed from eternal shame.
Would you no longer anxiously watch the clock on the wall,
break free from the grip of time.
We banish dreams to tomorrow and later,
but secretly doesn't it hurt you.
That you would then do what you always wanted,
if there was never a tomorrow.

You're shocked to see what's happening,
An 8-year-old child walks with a machine gun.
And that's not right, they should play with toys,
Or maybe play football, they might be very good.
How much more must such a child suffer,
Everyone wants to liberate such a child.
Liberate from pressure, no they shouldn't stress,
The girls are doing their best and will become teachers.

Rappers or singers, I hope it works out,
Now give me two fingers, hold them high in the air.
From left to right and hold them high in the air,
Because a child's smile is the greatest happiness.

What would you do
What would I do if I lived in Baghdad?
Would I beg the one in power?
Hey, how bad would it be in the Balkans?
Most people don't understand a thing.
Congo, Kosovo, and Pakistan,
Sierra Leone, Sudan, and Afghanistan.
Eritrea and of course Georgia,
It's war from here to Bosnia.

What would you do,
if there was never a tomorrow.
what would you do then,
what would you do,
if there was never a tomorrow.
two fingers in the air come on come on,
what would you do,
if there was never a tomorrow.
War child war child,
what would you do,
if there was never a tomorrow,
what would you do.
WAR CHILD.
